* = amount greater than $0 but less than $50,000. na = not applicable; agency or subagency did not exist as such or in that organization in that year. NA = not available; data were not collected at that level for that fiscal year.

a The Cooperative State Research, Education, and Extension Service changed its name to the National Institute of Food and Agriculture in FY 2008.

b In FY 2011, excepting the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, the Office of the Secretary of Defense began reporting for the agencies that had been presented under Department of Defense (DOD) agencies and activities and Operational Test and Evaluation, Director. These are now reported under Other defense agencies.

c Prior to FY 2012, data reported for the Administration for Community Living (ACL) was for the Administration on Aging, which was transferred to ACL when ACL was established on April 18, 2012. Several programs that serve older adults and people with disabilities were transferred from other agencies to ACL, including a number of programs from the Department of Education due to the 2014 Workforce Innovation and Opportunities Act.

NOTES: Because of rounding, detail may not add to total. Only those agencies and subdivisions that had obligations in variables represented by this table appear in the table. Between FY 2006 and FY 2007, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration's (NASA's) R&D obligations decreased for two reasons: (1) in FY 2007, NASA excluded projects that were operational in nature that were not excluded in FY 2006, which accounts for $850 million of the decrease; and (2) there was an overall decrease in obligations between FY 2006 and FY 2007, which accounts for the remainder of the decrease. In FY 2010, NASA resumed reporting International Space Station (ISS) obligations as R&D plant. In FY 2012, NASA began reporting ISS obligations as research rather than R&D plant. In FY 2013, NASA revamped its reporting process so that the data for FY 2012 forward are not directly comparable with totals reported in previous years. See technical table A-2 for additional notes associated with the agencies listed in this table. FYs 2009 and 2010 obligations include additional funding provided by the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009.
